Playing a New Game

Finally, it was time to play a new smartphone game.

We take the stage.

The audience was about 200 people, but the event was being broadcasted live on an official channel.

The number of viewers exceeded 20,000.

That's a lot of people for a gaming event.

"Now then, let me show you how the game is actually played."

The announcer who was hosting the event spoke fluently.

"This time, we have invited the winner of the Pro-hopple world championship, Takamori-san, and the winner of the Japanese championship, Rio Natsume-san. We have two professional gamers here to play Start Fantasy."

As the announcer said this, the game screen appeared on a large screen in the hall.

"Then, let's begin."

Rio and I operate the smartphone screen.

It seems that this party was made for this game.

"I see, so we choose our attacks here."

"This could be fun."

I usually play games that are usually very brutal, so sometimes it is fun to play a game that is a little more relaxed.

"It's there some compatibility? I'll take care of this one, and you take care of that one."

"Roger that"

[You adapted to it too quickly]

[Are the best in the world and the best in Japan not good at anything?]

[The coordination between the two of them is amazing.]

[I can't wait to play this game!]

Comments like these have been flowing through the streaming video for a long time.

"Next is the boss fight, huh?"

"Right."

So far, things were going well.

"All right, let's do it."

The boss was set up to be strong.

It was different from the normal stages.

"I wonder which technique is good for this."

Rio showed me the screen of her smartphone and asked me.

"If it were me, I would use this one."

I pointed at the technique that was most compatible with my partner.

"I see. That may be true for sure. ..."

Rio looked satisfied.

"Now, we are almost there."

The boss's health was down to about one-third. While I still had half of my health left.

"We can do it next turn, right?"

"Yeah, we can do that.

We knew we were going to win this, the next turn.

"Yeah! We did it."

"Yeah! We won!"

Rio was smiling like an angel.

"The high school pro-gamer team cleared the stage with flying colors! I must say, that's as good as it gets!"

The announcer's voice made the audience even more excited.

[Are you sure this is your first time?]

[I want to play this game so bad!]

[If it's a smartphone game, it should be easy, right?

It was a voice of praise for me and Rio.

The audience kept up the excitement and our performance ended.
